California to name street after Tupac Shakur.

The city council of Oakland has unanimously voted to rename a street after late hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur. The stretch of MacArthur Boulevard by Lake Merritt where Shakur once lived will keep its existing name, but also receive the additional, honorary name of Tupac Shakur Way. The Tupac Shakur Foundation will cover the costs for commemorative plaques and signs signaling the change. Shakur was selected to remind people of his contributions to Oakland and celebrate art and culture as a catalyst for societal change.

California to name street after Tupac Shakur.

A stretch of MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland, California, where Tupac Shakur once lived, will receive an honorary name of Tupac Shakur Way, in commemoration of the late rapper's contributions to the city and his impact on art and culture. The Tupac Shakur Foundation will pay for commemorative plaques and signs, and the renaming will not affect the existing name of the street. Other notable figures, including Huey P. Newton and Too Short, have also been honored with street names in Oakland.
